Three years in the making, EvenMe is the brainchild of Corporate Fundamentals owner and founder, Jill Young, and her business partner Russel Brand, the \u2018idea-ologist\u2019 on the platform. \u201cWhen I was retrenched a few years back, I decided to go out and do something on my own,\u201d explains Young. \u201cI realised how hard it is to get guidance and information as an entrepreneur and how difficult it is to find the right information that\u2019s of relevance and presented in a simple, exciting and meaningful format to assist entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Young\u2019s palpable energy and enthusiasm are matched by that of Brand, who brings his own experience and business acumen into the mix. \u201cWe want to give the youth \u2013 or in fact anyone \u2013 the tools to help them be whatever and whoever they want to be, to give them a platform to talk and share, and to find the opportunities that exist \u2013 all in one place,\u201d says Brand.<\/p>\n
And they have made it happen with the help of their powerful partners. Giant industry players Microsoft and Edcon have come on board, along with Khan Academy, Edgars Connect and Varsity Sport. \u201cThere is no doubt that the backing of our partners has provided us with both the reputability and functional capacity that we needed in order to get the project off the ground,\u201d says Young. \u201cEach partner has brought vital resources into the project, helping to create a truly unique multi-functional and comprehensive online portal and mobile app.\u201d<\/p>\n
Representing the youth for which the project was conceived are five incredibly talented and driven young people who make up the EvenMe ambassadors. Logan Meintjies, AKA A.C.E., is the rapper and sound technician responsible for the EvenMe theme song, which can be heard on the website and who represents the platform\u2019s music section. Ryan Rae is the quiet, surprisingly serious professional soccer player, who offers his experience to the sports category. The business ambassador is the remarkable Kyle Jones, whose ambition and age-defying maturity mark him out as a future leader, while entrepreneurship is headed up by Wernando Stoltz, who already has two businesses under his belt. Finally, the lovely and energetic Zylvah Makola offers her experience and insight into recruitment and job-hunting.<\/p>\n
Having only just launched, EvenMe has already become a strong presence on social media through the support of communications strategists ListenUp and the dynamic charity activist Silver Boomerang. From the #Win-a-Scooter initiative at malls around South Africa and the videos that were shot at Microsoft\u2019s studios, it seems EvenMe is set to dominate over the coming months as they motivate, energise and inspire school-leavers towards achieving their dreams and ambitions.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s future lies on the shoulders of a generation that has been subjected to inefficiencies and shortfalls in both educational support and career guidance. There are simply not enough jobs available to create economic growth, so, in order to fuel the country\u2019s economy, it is imperative that the youth are equipped with the tools […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9021],"tags":[6424,11173,5872,10532,1649,11172,4974,3786,6230,464],"class_list":{"0":"post-62436","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mypr","7":"tag-career","8":"tag-evenme","9":"tag-innovative","10":"tag-level","11":"tag-online","12":"tag-portal","13":"tag-support","14":"tag-takes","15":"tag-whole","16":"tag-youth","17":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62436\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
